The NSTU stands in solidarity with CUPE 3912 members on strike at Mount Saint Vincent University. These part-time faculty, TAs, and course instructors play a vital role in students’ learning and deserve fairness, respect, and a fair collective agreement. @cupe3912.bsky.social @peterday6.bsky.social
🤞that Dal admin sits down at the conciliation table today ready to work out a full and fair deal with our essential CUPE3912 colleagues. #solidarity
I don’t think campus has the patience or capacity, in a term already strained because of their #lockout, for more 🤡 games…
Friends and colleagues! My union (SMU PT Faculty / @cupe3912.bsky.social) has called a strike!
We are asking for a raise (we are some of the lowest paid in Canada, uni is offering 1%! 😱), our contracts before the term starts, and a path to permanency.

Our colleagues at SMU and MSVU are fighting for equitable pay and working conditions. The professorate represented by CUPE 3912 are among the lowest paid precarious academics in Canada. If you're in Halifax, please support our friends! @cupe3912.bsky.social @smufu.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social
Join us on the picket line and show your support for the striking support workers of @cupe3912.bsky.social! Let’s stand together and show @msvuhalifax.bsky.social and @smuhalifax.bsky.social the power of our solidarity!
CBUFA members are in Halifax today to support DFA! @dalfaculty.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social
All the best from CBUFA!
Solidarity with DFA as they work towards a fair deal!
Picket signs arrived at the DFA office today. Hopefully we won't need to unwrap them!
While our bargaining team wants to get back to the table and avoid job action, we will be ready if the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors won't bargain. #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

CBUFA is deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague Dr. Scott Moir, a great scholar and friend.
We are alarmed by Tim Houston's attempt to control academic research in Nova Scotia. This sets a dangerous precedent, posing a danger to current and future research. Long-term research should not be impacted by partisan issues of the day. researchns.ca/2025/05/01/n...
Agreeing with our provincial and national counterparts, the Cape Breton University Faculty Association (CBUFA) is opposed to Bill 12 which provides extraordinary powers to the department of advanced education.

"No amount of gov't oversight or new avenues of revenue will fix the core problem of university’s sustainability; the deterioration of public funding.” @stfxaut.bsky.social @acadiafaculty.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @cbufa.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social www.ansut.ca/2025/03/facu...
Nova Scotia has proposed legislation increasing political interference in universities.
Political interference in education isn’t just an American phenomenon. It’s alive and well in Canada too.
Politicians should not dictate the priorities of universities.
Premier Houston wants to make universities 'more accountable' by giving the education minister broad power to determine composition of university BOG, prescribe types of programs they offer and research funding.
Manifesto for decarbonizing scholarship - please read, share, sign, and best of all, try some things out. Let’s shift academia towards a different world. #climatesky
